Remember one thing, we can go back and forth all day long with scripture and looking for proof, but how many do you think won't believe someone who can't be killed, able to feed them ,have supernatural magical powers and uses them at will to prove he is the messiah and preaches peace because through peace he will destroy many as is quoted in Daniel?
But you're still looking at this as though there is one single *the* antichrist, and there is not evidence of such a person. Granted, there will be people performing miracles through the power given them by Satan that will convince many. However, these events, similar to those in the court of Pharoah, will not be able to stand before the power of God. It will then be up to the people to learn to understand the difference.
This is exactly why I have told people before, if you're looking for a sign or proof that God is God, you're not going to be able to discern the difference between those of God and those not of God. You must have that understanding prior to such events.

What will you do when one of his agents seduces your Mormon church, will you be able to say no?

1. The antrichrist was a metaphor for emperor Nero
2. If it WERE real, there's nothing we could do anyway, since 'our fate' would have already been decided, so don't waste your time.
3. Think back to the 90's -- there used to be the same shows on cable about the antichrist, except back then they said it was Saddam hussein instead of Osama Bin Laden.

Mormons are not Christians, and the book of Mormon is as religious (not Christian) as it gets. So my guess (this is only my guess) would be no. There are are probably some people (besides the sealed Jews) during the end times who will resist the Antichrist, but not many.And yes, the book of Revelation and Daniel clearly states that there will be a Antichrist at the end who will try to take over the world. Yes, there are and were, and will be many antichrists, but the antichrist will only be in prominence during the great tribulation. The Bible is clear on this. And people should stop trying to accuse others of being the Antichrist and start preaching the gospel to people around the world.
I'm dissappointed by all the fake Christians and televangelists who go around predicting when the end of days will come and who are obsessed with prophecy. Yes, prophecy is important, but preaching Christ takes precedence, and understanding the book of Revelation and Daniel takes deep knowledge of the OT and other parts of the NT. Everyone just wants to sensationalize the Bible (which is exciting enough if you read as it is), and unfortunately there are a lot of people just trying to profit off of it as well (Joel Osteen, T.D. Jakes, half of those TBN people, several BET preachers, etc).
You know Zim would make a thread about it too. Kind of like his 24 threads with a warning to people that read the bible to not post spoilers.
Yes, I clicked on the link, and yes, I read the information presented. As for one of his agents seducing the Mormon church, it won't happen. The Mormon church is lead by a Prophet of God, with 12 Apostles, just as Christ's original church was. They hold the authority of God, or Priesthood, just as the original Apostles did. That priesthood give them the ability to receive revelation directly from heaven, as it gives to all who hold this priesthood (currently consisting of all worthy males over the age of 18). For these people to seduce our church, they would have to seduce the majority of the Council of the Twelve, as well as the Prophet of the church. Not going to happen.
As for Maitreya himself, anyone with a good understanding of the events preceeding the 2nd Coming of Christ would know that not all of the sign have been fulfilled, therefore Christ could not have come yet. Therefore, Maitreya could not be Christ as the tribe in Kenya believed. Personally, I wish him luck with what he's doing. I didn't see anywhere that he claims to be Christ, but that he simply wants the world to be a better place. If he should start proclaiming himself as the returned Christ, then I might have issues with the man.

What exactly does that mean, the book of Mormon is a s religious (not Christian) as it gets?
I dare say there will be many that will fight against the armies of Satan. As for *the* antichrist, still waiting for a scripture that states anything to the effect. We've already been over the Daniel and Revelations scriptures.
The world prophet comes for the greek meaning "forth" not "fore". Therefore, a prophet is one who brings *forth* knowledge, not *fore* knowledge. There is a difference between a prophet and a revelator. A prophet teaches of Christ. A revelator, or seer, is one who sees past and future events. I would expect any man who proclaims himself a prophet to understand and know the difference. If he doesn't, then one can be assured he is no prophet of God.
I would agree, and it is very sad.

Didn't the Mormons build a house in preparation for Elijah? Then they gave some kind of crap that their calculations were wrong.
Come one people. If you read the WHOLE Bible, you're realize that Jesus said, "You know not the day nor the hour." He had multiple parables about it coming "like a theif in the night."
It's been the biggest mystery to me why God lets evil exist, but I think I figured it out. God lets evil exist because it allows even more goodness to flourish. God keeps the black clouds around just for their silver linings.
Any Tom, Dick, and Harry can become a preacher these days by signing up on a certain website. I lost the link.
What do scholars know? They're just human like us. This sh¡t isn't written in books. It's not for us to know.
How could good exist without evil? If you never knew what was right, you'd never know what was wrong.
badass screenname, by the way
Yeah, I especially like the numerology. If you actually picture beasts with so many heads, it distracts you from reading INTO it. Numbers like 7 and 40 symbolize good things, but numbers like 5 and 6 are usually bad.
"Anti" implies equal and opposite, but even though there might be an opposite, there certainly is no equal.
Why thank you. I like it.
That is the real danger behind the idea of the *one* antichrist. If Satan can get you stuck on the idea of there only being one main antichrist, he can hit you with 4 or 5 others that might deceive you.
As for the numbers, oh yeah, big symbolism. The number 7 has the symbolism of completeness, fulfillment, so 6 become an utter lack of fulfillment of completeness. So, mark of the beast. There are 3 beast, dragon, sea beast, and land beast. Each completely lacking if completeness. A 6 for each gives 666.
I don't know if that's the meaning or anything, who knows? Could just be a coincidence.
I think there is wisdom there though. Antichrists will appear to have powers *equal* to Christ himself, but will be using them for the exact opposite reason, in opposition really. Definitely interesting.
Do you have a link? Sounds like an interesting read.
There's alot of stuff on the news about the Gospel according to Judas right now. Seems like they found a manuscript from 300AD. IT apparently wasnt included because it didn't jive with what the people in power believed.
